Last Pulse this Year:-)

Time for SIN’s Christmas Pulse:-)
If you are one of us who is staying in Oslo for Christmas and still don’t know what to do, I managed to find some ideas for you:-)
1. If you are not up to sitting at home on Christmas Eve and you are also one of those who want to make a difference, there is a possibility to participate in an event called “Alternative Christmas”. You can volunteer for helping those who don’t have a possibility for normal Christmas celebration (the drug users, alcoholics, homeless or just the ones who don’t have anyone to celebrate Christmas with).All the info is available at http://www.alternativjul.no/index.html. There you’ll find the timetable for shifts as well as how you can apply for being a volunteer. It’s going to take place at : Oslo Kongressenter in Folkets Hus at Youngstorget
2. While you are impatient and really looking forward to Christmas there is an International knitting exhibition. Well, it can also give you some inspiration on what to do on Christmas Eve. The exhibition presents an exciting meeting with a new, strong field of art. It deals with roles, expectations, traditions, breaches and provocations. Artists and craftsmen from Australia, Canada, Denmark, England, Finland, Japan, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Norway, Scotland, Germany and USA show the diversity in knitting as an artistic language today. It’s at KunstindustrimuseetAddress: St. Olavs gate 1
Free of charge
3.The closing event for today’s Christmas Pulse is Frank Znort Lille Julaften. It’s a concert of Frank Znort Quartet at Blå, 21.00 on Sunday 23 of December.
Free of charge.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS
Stay tuned for Snakker ikke Norsk next semester:-)

Christmas Cookies recipe

Since it is christmas time, cookies come natrually on the radar,
and if you are not in the mood for it by now, maybe this norwegian cookies recipe will help

1 ½ Cups of shortening
1 ½ Cups of sugar
1 Egg yolk and 1 whole egg
2 ½ Cups of flour
½ Teaspoon of ground
cardamom
½ Teaspoon of cinnamon
1 Cup of almonds, ground
1 Tablespoon of orange juice

Cream the shortening and sugar and add the beaten yolk and egg. Mix and sift the dry ingredients and the blanched, ground almonds together. Combine the mixtures and add the orange juice. Chill the dough, then roll thin, cut in fancy shapes and bake a few minutes at 200 Celsius. They must be watched carefully.

Enjoy and merry Christmas!

Pulse Week 49

Time for traditional Oslo low-budget PulseJ
1. The first event is a guitar concert of a Japanese guitar player Tetuzi Akiyama with his Norwegian friends. The musical instruments represented in the concert will be: guitars, saxophone, trumpet and tuba. The 9th of December it’s posible to hear them live at the Norwegian Academy of Music at 19.00. Free of charge.
2. Are you up to yet another Norwegian movie with English subtitles? This time it’s a legendary “Cool and Crazy”, I would say a “must watch” in the Norwegian movies list. With Cool and Crazy one of Norway's most experienced and renowned feature film directors is bringing to the screen a world he knows and loves. And he does it in the spirit of the people he portrays, with irreverence and wit and highly charged. For some this will be a film about men. For others it will be about love. Or politics. Or fish. Above all it is about the dignity of ordinary lives lived under extreme circumstances. For those that loved Buena Vista Social Club - this is the answer. It’s in Cinemateket on Thursday, 6th of December at 16.30 Free of charge
3. The next event on my Pulse agenda today is a jazz concert of Papa k kvintett. Jazz and improvisation with inspiration from soul,ska,Dolphy, surf and William Blake.More info is available at myspace.com/papakkvintett The concert is on Thursday, 6th of December at Mogador Café at 21.00. Free of charge.Students at Oslo Art University College arrange their yearly Christmas marked. Just an idea for some Christmas presentsJ.It’s on 8th and 9th of December from 11 till 16.00 back Oslo Domkirke

The Pulse Week 47

November 15th to 25th marks the days of the Oslo International Film Festival. While a 60 NOK festival pass and 60 NOK tickets are required to attend the screenings, it may well be worth it for a seasoned movie buff. I recommend "My Blueberry Nights", the latest offering from the Chinese director Wong Kar-Wai. A fanciful road-trip story, it features an ensemble cast headed by Norah Jones and Jude Law. This film will be showing Saturday the 24th at 9:10 pm and Sunday the 25th at 9 pm. Both screenings will be held at Eldorado at Torggata 9. Tickets and festival passes can be purchased in advance at all Oslo Kino cinemas. http://www.oslofilmfestival.com/2007/
Nothing say "Happy Thursday" like free waffles! This is indeed the order of the day the 22nd of November, when the International Students Union of Oslo celebrates the release of its fall 2007 Academic Review. Drop by to pick up a free copy of this English-language publication and to try your skill at karaoke. The party starts at 6 pm in the Kjelleren of Helga Engs hus at Blindern. Admission is free, and come early to get the free waffles.
Does the word "knitting" conjure images of mishapped Christmas sweaters? Hopefully this is not the case, because as we speak the Museum of Decorative Arts is hosting a knitting exhibition. With contributors from all over the world, the designs run the gamut from nostalgic to provocative. The museum is located at St. Olavs gate 1, and the exhibition can be viewed from Tuesday to Friday after 11 am, and Saturday to Sunday after noon. Admission is free.
http://www.nationalmuseum.no/index.php/content/view/full/4918
The last feature on the pulse is more an occasion to commemorate than an event itself. Saturday the 24th of November has been declared international "Buy Nothing Day" by the grassroots organization, Adbusters. Celebrated to raise awareness against the rampant consumerism that precedes the Christmas holidays, the campaign suggests foregoing needless shopping. In solidarity with people in over 60 other countries, participate by avoiding purchases on Saturday. For more ideas to celebrate the day, check out http://adbusters.org/metas/eco/bnd/.

The movie is based on a short-story by the famous Norwegian author Lars Saabye Christensen.Otto Olsen is the smallest boy on the soccer team and is finding it hard to gain acceptance from his team mates.

3. The third event is for those of you who want to practice their Norwegian and meet a well-known Norwegian author Erlend Loe. Some of you have to read his “Naiv. Super” as an obligatory literature for your Norwegian course. Why not go and listen what the author has to tell himselfJ

Pulse 23.10

Oslo cultural life is pulsatingJand you get your update of it nowJ

1. The first event which opens the Pulse is a theatre performance “Invandrer” by Andy Smith. As the artist says himself ” innvandrer is an entertaining and engaging performance work that attempts to tell stories and recount the experience of movement from one country to another: of my move to Oslo and Norway, my thoughts and experiences of that movement, and my struggles with communication in this new context. The work will be performed in Norwegian with a little english, exploring the limitations and problems of language, as well as ideas of migration and immigration today”
So why not take all the knowledge you gained at your Norwegian lessons with you and go to UKS at Lakkegata 55 D
On Wednesday 24th of October at 19.00
It’s free of charge.
2 The next event to be announced is a Norwegian movie at Cinemateket. The “Junk mail”. This black comedy, with the not so reliable Roy as the protagonist, deals with love, hot money, cold spaghetti, karaoke and involuntary good deeds. Roy is a wreck of a love-starved mailman ruled by curiosity, a mean streak and a mighty ability to find himself in the wrong place at the wrong time. The movie is screened with the Norwegian subtitles. It’s on Thursday 25.10.2007 at 16:30
And it’s free of charge.

3. The event I’m going to talk about now is not free of charge, so it’s on the category of “low-budget” it’s a concert of mentioned earlier in the SIN program band Shctimm.

Room for questions + answers, with prizes for interesting questions.

The festival has always had free access for everyone. The audience record is about 15 000 people, most of whom sitting on the grass, relaxing, barbecuing and listening to great music.

A Technician life ...

First of all, Digas archive is gone !!! VERY GOOD, I LIKE IT !!! :-D It means all our history is gone, the whole archive of snakker ikke norsk and 25 years of radio Nova is gone ... I don't blame any staff, I blame authorities that didn't pay attention for better types of keeping the archive files in different places, so that i could get easily lost ... 25 years history !!!

Whatever ... The news above means that there is no jingle or anything too ! so last week we just had one jingle ( thanks to Christopher ) and actuly he was trying to produce ontime self gingles as well !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you have listened to PULSE, you probably know what I mean ;-)

Last week was my 2nd experience of technician life. Technician life is not an easy life, needs consideration and timing. It means stress, at least still I have stress when I sit at technician table and I have not had the course as well, so I am not trained well to be a technician. Just have looked at the ones who does it and now I am doing it myself too and waiting for a course ! But as all first timers I made alot of mistakes in my last 2 times !!! First time the program started 10 seconds late !!!! and my timing was not so good and I was totally stressful through the show ... Thanks to Vita that tried to calm me down :-) But the 2nd time, I made mistakes too ... Changing places of 2 interviews while I didnt say a word to the ones who were hosting the show !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ( OKAY, I told Vita but she was not hosting the show last week & I didn't know that before the show to be honest ) and interupted once Nadja while she was introducing the song as I thought she is over with introducing but actully she was not ! :-D VERY STUPID ! I LIKE IT !!!!!

ANYWAY, Thnaks to all the ones who stood me in last 2 weeks and are going to stand me in the following weeks :-D

A technician life means consideration, timing and stress ... I hope I can get over stress :-)

Thanks to the ones who taught me how to do it ...

Iranian new year, Norouz

Norouz (Persian: نوروز‎ , various local pronunciations and spellings) is the traditional Iranian new year holiday celebrated in Iran, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Afghanistan, Albania, Georgia, the countries of Central Asia such as Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Kazakhstan, as well as among various other Iranian and Turkic people in Iraq, Syria, Pakistan, India, Northwestern China, the Caucasus, the Crimea, and the Balkans.

Norouz marks the first day of spring and the beginning of the Iranian year. It is celebrated by some communities on March 21st and by others on the day of the astronomical vernal equinox (start of spring in northern hemisphere), which may occur on March 20th, 21st or 22nd.

P.S. Soon you can listen to the program

Disaster ?!?!

Today the whole show was some kind of disaster.

First that we got to radio, after a while Vita suddenly told me that we are going to have our technician for today because he is going to IKEA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Vita was so angry about it and called a couple of people to find a technician and hopefully Christian came to help us ... but as he was not quite familiar with the way we do the show, nearly a lot went wrong ... well thanks to Vita's professionalism, she kind of saved the show through the hell it was in ...

There were two things that I liked about Vita today ...

1. She controlled her anger over Christian after he fucked up the show ( NOT much, but anyway she had right to get much more angrier but it would just make Christian more stressful and he would have more mistakes after that as he did !!! )
   
   
2. She saved the show !!! :-) ( " Poster boy ran away with French Vita !!! " Oh boy this girl is so damn good at bull shitting even if she is in the middle of hell in a totally fucked up show where others are sticked to their chairs wondering what the hell has happened !!! )

If you ask my opinion about the show, I would say :

WE HAVE HAD BETTER DAYS ! :-D

but still I admire vita for what she did today,

Shahab,

Radio killed the videostar
